The Little Jar // Bowuigi

The Kiss

Once at the castle, Luigi was quick to part from Mario and go his own way. He was extremely nervous about today, he had been worrying about it the whole way here. He gripped his shoulder bag firmly as he silently made his way down the hall. How was Bowser going to react? Would he be mad about the whole cage thing? Even if it wasn't Luigi's fault, he would still blame himself for his brother's poor choice of action.

Luigi stopped at the door and took a deep breath in before pushing the doors open with his free hand.

There Bowser sat in his new 'prison' and he looked grumpy.

"Well look who decided to show their face..." Bowser grumbled. He crossed his arms and turned away from Luigi.

"Ehe... heyy... sorry about the cage... it isn't much of an upgrade is it?" Luigi tried to make light-heartedness out of this, but he wasn't so sure he was succeeding.

Bowser puffed smoke out of his snout in response and looked away.

"W-Well it wasn't me who requested this! Ehe... it's rather funny actually, you see my brother–"

"Oh boy, here we go..." Bowser spat sarcastically.

Luigi gulped and pulled at his sweater collar.

"He... uh, he was starting to get worried about me coming in everyday, so he thought maybe if he had you relocated that... I'd stop coming in... heh... crazy right?" Luigi awkwardly looked to the ground.

Bowser uncrossed his arms and slowly turned around.

"So he doesn't trust you with me?" Bowser raised a brow, yet his expression was still blank.

"N-No!! He does trust me! He does... it's just, he doesn't trust you..." Luigi laughed awkwardly.

Bowser scoffed, of course it was Mario! Mario just loved to ruin everything for Bowser! Not just that but take everything from him too! He refused to lose Luigi because of his cocky brother.

"Hmph, well then what happened? You're here today, so clearly you had other plans, hm?" Bowser questioned with a crock of a brow.

Luigi gave a nervous smile.

"I... I stood up for myself. I... told him that, it's not what I want, that... I feel he was only doing it for himself and... he accepted that, we made up and here I am! Another day! With you... alone... heh... now I think of it, maybe I should've just gone with it..." Luigi gulped.

"Whaaat~ you don't like being around me? Come on~ I know you love it." Bowser purred as he leaned his head against the bars.

Luigi squeaked nervously and looked away from Bowser, he couldn't look at him when he was being a flirt, it made him feel weird...

"Of course I do. But now, Mario is suspicious, and that isn't good on me Bowser, if he finds out he'll–"

"He won't. You need to relax, I promise he won't find out." Bowser smiled weakly before speaking up again. "What's in the bag today?" He pointed.

Luigi smiled faintly and placed the bag down on the table the jar once was. He took out the container of cookies and cracked the lid open. Immediately Bowser smelt the delicious aroma.

"Mmm... are those cookies?" Bowser licked his lips, his stomach growled, it was begging for food.

"Mhm! I made them! Uh... for... you." Luigi's cheeks lit up, he suddenly went shy as he slipped a cookie out of the container and slid it inside the cage.

The cookie was as big as Bowser, but it was perfect! Especially since the poor guy hadn't eaten anything for almost two days, he was starving! He inhaled the fumes of the cookie and shivered in response, he cut a bit out with his claw and popped it into his mouth. Immediately he felt his body melt with joy, they were delicious! Incredible! Amazing! Bowser had never tasted anything like it! His entire face lit up with pleasure as he went to cut more.
